Zhang Xuan gave Shan Xiongxin a day to consider, and at the same time, a 70,000 army surrounded the forests of the troops stationed by Shan Xiongxin, using both soft and hard to force Shan Xiongxin to surrender.●⌒,.

At this time, Zhang Xuan received a quick letter from Pei Xingyan. The Sui cavalry caught up with Hao Xiaode and Chen Zhiluo's army in Kaocheng County. Fierce battle broke out and fled to Chenliu County. Chen Zhiluo was killed in the chaos. 20,000 troops surrendered, and the cavalry unfortunately killed more than a thousand people. At present, the army was escorting prisoners of war to Chuqiu County.

Zhang Xuan immediately asked someone to tell Shan Xiongxin, who was still considering this news.

Shan Xiongxin was very conflicted. On the one hand, he was willing to accept Zhang Xuan's conditions and become the prefect of Dongjun, while on the other hand, he was unwilling to bear the charge of betraying Zhai Rang. Of course, Shan Xiongxin knew that the Wagang Army was in a desperate situation and was irrescueable, and destruction was right in front of him.

In the marching tent, Shan Xiongxin was very anxious and paced back and forth in the tent with his hands on his back. At this time, Shan Xiongxin felt something, but when he turned around, he saw Sun Changle appear at the door of the tent.

"General Sun, is there anything wrong?"

"Qi reported to General, Chen Zhiluo is dead, and Hao Xiaode escaped and disappeared."

"I already know, you don't have to say it."

After a moment of silence, Sun Changle said: "General, Bei Zhi wants to surrender to the King of Qi."

"You are" Shan Xiongxin looked at him in shock.

Sun Changle said calmly: "The King of Qi could have defeated us easily, but he has not taken action for a long time. Instead, he persuaded the general to surrender again and again. He was not for the general, but for us Wagang soldiers. As he said in his letter to the general, the people in the Central Plains were suffering and could no longer be subject to military disasters. This is the emperor's heart of the King of Qi to help the world. Such a wise ruler, how can I not serve him!"

Speaking of this, Sun Changle knelt down on one knee and said, "The general treats me as much as a mountain of kindness. I hope the general can make wise choices and not be obsessed with it anymore."

Shan Xiongxin sighed long, "Our Wagang army has caused serious disasters to the people of the Central Plains. Well, let's lose personal honor and disgrace, let's atone for our sins!"

Shan Xiongxin finally made up his mind. He sent someone to invite the Chief Shi Bing Yuanzhen and said to him: "Please ask me to go to the Sui camp for me and tell the King of Qi that I have only one condition. I beg him to spare Mr. Zhai's life when he breaks the city of Song."

Bing Yuanzhen nodded and sighed: "General is a loyal and righteous person, don't worry! I will definitely convince the King of Qi to agree to the general's conditions."

Shan Xiongxin said to Sun Changle again: "General Sun and his wife go together."

"General Xie is fulfilled!"

In front of the Sui army's formation, soldiers reported: "Bing Yuanzhen and Sun Changle are here to ask for the meeting with the general!"

Zhang Xuan smiled at Fang Xuanling and said, "It seems that Shan Xiongxin has to put in some more conditions."

"Your Highness might as well listen. Shan Xiongxin is a person who knows how to behave and will not make things difficult for His Highness."

"Please come up!" Zhang Xuan immediately ordered.

At this time, Luo Shixin hesitated for a moment and said carefully: "Master General, if Sun Changle came to surrender, can he be classified as a humble general?"

Zhang Xuan glanced at him, "Do you want to avenge a knife?"

"No, I am just grateful to him for spareing my life."

"It seems you are not confused either. You know that others have spared your life."

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "If he wants to, he can follow you."

Soon, several soldiers led Bing Yuanzhen and Sun Changle to Zhang Xuan. The tall and thin Bing Yuanzhen bowed and bowed, "See Your Highness, King Qi!"

"Mr. Bing doesn't have to be too polite, but General Shan asked Mr. to bring him a message?"

“That’s right!”

Bing Yuanzhen carefully considered his words and said carefully: "General Shan is willing to surrender to His Highness and do his best for the people of the Central Plains. However, he was grateful to Duke Zhai for his kindness and only begged to him if Duke Zhai captured him, he could spare his life."

Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded, "This requirement is not high, I can agree."

Bing Yuanzhen was overjoyed, "The villain will reply to General Shan now."

"What about Mr. Bing's own decision?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.

Bing Yuanzhen was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly stepped forward and knelt down, and said excitedly: "If Your Highness does not mind Bing Yuanzhen's knowledge and rude knowledge, Yuanzhen is willing to serve His Highness King Qi!"

Of course, Zhang Xuan knew that Bing Yuanzhen was a counselor-level figure in the Wagang Army and was extremely strategic, but was excluded by Zhai Hong and Wang Ruxin. In the end, he had to follow Shan Xiongxin. Zhang Xuan turned over and got off the horse, helped him up, and said with a smile: "Sir, stay in the army for the time being as my aide!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kind treatment!"

At this time, Sun Changle stepped forward and knelt on one knee, "Sun Changle felt that His Highness is kind and willing to serve His Highness for his work. I hope His Highness will include it!"

Zhang Xuan quickly helped him up and praised him: "General Sun has excellent martial arts skills. If he can win General Sun like this, Zhang Xuan will have a wing of his wing!"

Zhang Xuan then appointed Bing Yuanzhen as an aide to join the army, assisted Du Ruhui in charge of the Chinese military, and also appointed Sun Changle as the general of Huya Lang, following General Luo Shixin. The two were overjoyed and bowed to thank each other.

Although Sun Changle was a little nervous, Luo Shixin treated him very kindly and did not remember his old grudges at all. Sun Changsun's uneasiness gradually faded, and he followed Luo Shixin wholeheartedly and became Luo Shixin's right-hand man.

In the afternoon of the same day, Shan Xiongxin led an army of 10,000 to formally surrender to Zhang Xuan, accepted Zhang Xuan's seal and became the prefect of Dongjun, and was appointed as the Yinqing Guanglu Dafu. Shan Xiongxin abandoned martial arts and followed the article and became the parent official of Dongjun.

At night, on the official road south of Songcheng, a team of cavalry guarded a scholar and rushed towards Songcheng. Soon, the cavalry team arrived at the city, and soldiers on the city shouted: "Who is it?"

The cavalryman stepped forward and whispered loudly: "We are coming from Nanyang County. If you have an urgent matter, please see Mr. Zhai!"

After saying that, the cavalry leader shot a letter to the city. A soldier picked up the letter and rushed into the city. Soon, the city gate slowly opened. A general from Wagang stepped forward and bowed: "In the lower house, Xiao Pingming, General Zhai Gong's Guard, please come with me!"

A team of cavalry followed Lang General Xiao Pingming and rushed into the city, and the city gate was closed again.

Although Songcheng County seemed very calm under the night sky, in fact, Songcheng County was already in panic and panic. The news that Zhai Hong was completely wiped out by the Sui cavalry spread throughout the city with several fleeing soldiers, and another news spread rapidly in the city. Shan Xiongxin's 60,000 army had been destroyed in Chuqiu County, and Shan Xiongxin was unfortunately killed.

Although the latter news was a misinformation, it still had a certain impact on the morale of the Wagang Army. Shan Xiongxin was the military spirit of the Wagang Army soldiers, second only to the leader Zhai Rang. His fate affected the hearts of every Wagang Army soldier.

Zhai Rang was also under great pressure. The death of his brother and nephew made him extremely indignant. Although he did not know that Zhai Hong had secretly surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Zhai Hong's death cut off his retreat and moved to Runan County. At the same time, it made him panic and confused. He didn't know what would happen to him in the end.

Zhai Rang was already asleep, but a letter sent from the city gate made him sleepless. He never expected that Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty actually sent Dugu Huaien, the Minister of Works, to find him, which made him see another ray of light in despair.

Zhai Rang paced back and forth in the lobby with his hands behind his back. Dugu Huaien's arrival reminded a past event. The Wuchuan Prefecture, which was set up with the Guanlong nobles and the Bohai Province represented by the remnants of Northern Qi, would win him over at the same time. He finally chose Wuchuan Prefecture. The first envoy sent by Wuchuan Prefecture was Dugu Huaien. Then Li Mi went to Wagang. Soon he learned that Li Mi's true identity was Li Jiancheng, Li Yuan's eldest son. Until the end, he had no choice but to join the mountain, and gave Li Jiancheng a gift to Hanoi County.

Zhai Rang then remembered something. He seemed to be a member of Wuchuan Prefecture and did not withdraw from Wuchuan Prefecture. Could it be that the Dugu family and Dou family thought about their old relationship and advised Li Yuan to give him another way out?

While Zhai Rang was thinking about it, a soldier reported in the hall: "Report to the king, the visitor from Chang'an has arrived and is waiting outside the courtyard."

"Please come in quickly!"

Zhai Rang quickly walked out of the hall, and saw Dugu Huaien wearing cavalry armor quickly walking into the yard and laughing: "Mr. Zhai, I have been missing for many years!"

Dugu Huaien was about forty years old and was the cousin of Emperor Li Yuan. He had just become the Minister of Works. He was full of energy and a very high aura. He was as soon as he entered the door and heard the sound of him being the first to win people.

Zhai Rang quickly saluted, "Zhai Rang is over, but General Dugu is on the day of his rise to the east, which is not a pity!"

Dugu Huaien waved his hand, "What are you saying? Mr. Zhai is famous all over the world, and there are countless admirers. I am afraid there is no way out! Today I am here to show you the way for Mr. Zhai."

Zhai Rang was overjoyed. He was about to say this to Dugu Huaien. At this time, he saw that Dugu Huaien was still following a middle-aged scholar. At first, he thought it was Dugu Huaien's entourage, but soon he realized that it was not, it should be an official of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing that Dugu Huai'en seemed to have no intention of introducing it, he asked with a smile: "This is it."

Dugu Huaien glanced at the middle-aged man behind him, his face immediately became cold, and he did not hide the hostility in his eyes. He said lightly: "This is Governor Wu, Governor Jingzhou." He specially took the four words "Governor Jingzhou" very seriously.

Zhai Rang was stunned. Jingzhou had not yet returned to Tang, so how could there be a governor of Jingzhou?

The middle-aged man smiled and introduced himself, "I am the samurai warrior, and he is currently the Sima of the Qin King's Army."

Zhai Rang suddenly realized that he was a warrior and had heard of his reputation for a long time. He smiled in front of him and said, "Please sit in the hall!"
